Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,’ declares the Lord. The Lord said to me, ‘Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. ‘”
(Jeremiah 3:10-11)

No matter what words I utter

You can tell when I’m half-hearted, Jesus.

But that’s not what I ever want to be with You!

I want to give You everything I’ve got

because on the cross

that’s how much You gave me.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo in awareness of your deepest need:

“…in the hiding places on the mountainside…”
(Song of Songs 2:14)

With such language Solomon wooed his bride, Jesus…

even as You call to me.

It is true that I encounter You when I’m with Your children

so often surprised at how sweet their fellowship can be
especially when they lay aside fear and pretense
daring to be their true Christian selves.

But it is in my times alone with You

1on1

that I experience the deepest, sweetest joy.
